Football icon Ronaldo shattered a half-century milestone
In a historic moment for football, Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the world record for most career goals, surpassing the previously unreliable record traditionally attributed to Hungarian forward József Bicsák.
Ronaldo, who is two years younger than his constant rival Lionel Messi, achieved this feat during the Italian Super Cup match between Juventus and Napoli. The Portuguese superstar scored the second goal on the 64th minute, securing a 2:0 victory for Juventus. Álvaro Morata had opened the scoring for the team earlier in the match.
Ronaldo's goal was his 760th in official matches, breaking the record that was held by Bicsák, who played before the Second World War and is listed with 759 goals in official matches, although the statistics for him are not entirely reliable.
Pelé, a Brazilian three-time World Cup champion, is listed with 757 goals in official matches. However, Pelé claims to have scored many more goals, including goals from exhibition, friendly, and showcase matches, with his official website listing a goal tally of 1281. Ronaldo's goal-scoring record is not limited to official matches; his official statistics credit him with 760 goals in official matches.
Messi, who has scored 746 goals for Barcelona and the Argentine national team, has not yet broken Ronaldo's world record. The 35-year-old Ronaldo, who has played a total of 1036 matches across different teams: Lisbon's Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and the Portuguese national team, continues to rewrite the record books in football.
This milestone further cements Ronaldo's place as the player with the most goals in the history of football. His relentless pursuit of perfection and unyielding dedication to the sport continue to inspire football enthusiasts worldwide.
